Description

Coffee Crisis is an arcade-style beat 'em up that pays homage to the 90's era of classic arcade and 16-bit brawlers.
The Smurglian race has come to Earth and they're not leaving until they steal our four most prized commodities: our metal music, the best coffee, cat videos, and all of the WiFi. Challenge them through unique and innovative levels inspired by real-life areas. Originally released on a retro platform (the Sega Genesis) that needs new games like Earthlings need WiFi, you can now take the fight to your PC and XBox One. Join Black Forge Coffeehouse baristas Nick and Ashley, two galaxy gladiators called to arms to stop this madness and remove the Smurglian threat from Earth.
The Smurglians can have all of the Rap Metal and Country Pop that they want… but if you don’t help our heroes fend off against the alien-assimilated elderly, bros, cowgirls, and meat head bouncers, they might end up going after good music!
This game features:
- Single or Local Co-Op Play
- XBox Live Achievements
- Heavy Metal
- Possessed Grannies
- Dangerous amounts of caffeine
So grab a hot mug and save the world!

Review title of NocturnalsEveMassive Potential

Great art style and superb music! The beat em up nostalgia is real but everything else needs some work. Too many enemies and enemy types on screen even on easy. Hit detection is ok but the impact isnt felt so im constantly moving up and down to align my hits while getting hit with un telegraphed attacks from all angles. Level design is all over the place but level 3 should have been the first stage. Power ups\modifers aren't easily distinguishable in game. I feel like I'm fighting a horde then a random crt effect (looks cool tho) happens but it's hard to notice what is actually happening. I'm on the One X but screen tearing is an issue.
Ps. I like it a lot but I see potential for it to be outstanding! Also, I love the Kenny Chesney joke!

Review title of BEARDETH69Awesome Throwback but so much more

This is awesome old school brawling with plenty of modern touches that take it to the next level. The soundtrack is filled to the brim with tasty, upbeat metal riffs that go perfectly with the game's quick paced brutality. The story has just the right amount of self aware goofiness that takes advantage of classic video game tropes. Also, the pixel art is beautifully done.
Finally, the fact that this game was first released on the Sega Genesis via Kickstarter makes it that much more metal! \m/ Yes, you heard it here, the Genesis is pretty metal. Need proof? Metal Jesus Rocks himself makes a glorious cameo appearance.
Highly recommended!
UPDATE: After putting more time in, i will say i think hit detection and enemy balancing needs just a bit of work. There are times when combat feels a little unfair. I still recommend the game highly but it would take it to the next level if these issues were addressed.

Review title of ChronoCrossupXlegit retro style.trash gameplay

cool coffee theme but moves are super short range mostly too many extra pointless enemies not legit enough to master . not using password system for this crap. also unworthy of that effort. keep the theme but the gameplay sucks mob usage and level design are like an afterthought .the graphics retro stuff shows the art team are legit. dump the phoned in husk of gameplay mechanics. all retro show and no go.

Very fun game, Lots of time can be spent having fun in this classic style 8-bit game. Growing up with these kind of games it brought back the nostalgia I had when they first brought out games like this. 10/10 in my book.
